Having worked with herbs for decades, I’ve had the privilege of watching so many colleagues grow, evolve, and continue to shape this industry…
Among those pictured: Paul (Paulo) Altaffer, a true botanical innovator whom I first met back in the 1990s when he pioneered Brazilian botanicals; Damian Silva of Peruvian Nature , trailblazer of the Peruvian herbal market and another friend from those early days; and Gregory Drew whose path through several innovative companies eventually led him to Vitaquest International LLC .
One of the great joys of this work is seeing how our professional and personal journeys intertwine over time…and continuing to celebrate the shared path we’re still on today. 🌿🛣️
